Disclaimer: I do not own anything of Inuyasha.

A/N: I'm answering someone's question, even though Koga doesn't have his jewel shards he's still pretty fast, so he can still run in a whirlwind, although it may not be as strong as the one before. - Enjoy!

Chapter 7: Koga's Lie

"So nobody knows where Inuyasha is?" asked Kagome as she surveyed the shaking heads that were telling her 'no'. The last time she saw him was yesterday, so he could be anywhere by now. Koga put an arm around her shoulders and looked at her, his blue orbs telling her that everything would be fine.

"Kagome, as much as I hate to say this, I'll help you find that mutt."

"Oh, Koga, thank you so much!" Kagome turned and wrapped her arms around his neck in a big hug, then, when she was letting go she gave him a light kiss on the cheek.

All the while this was going on Sango, Miroku, and Shippo were watching with their mouths wide open and drying out. They could see that the two had grown closer over the absence of Inuyasha, and they all knew what that ment. Another fight would certainly be breaking out as soon as they found the hanyou.

Sango just stared at Kagome's face, she looked happy with Koga, and they all knew Koga was happy with her. Sango snapped out of her daze and noticed how close Miroku was standing to her, she looked at his face which was emotionless for the moment, then a smile crept across his pale face, probably thinking lecherous things. Sango looked to Shippo, his mouth was still open and drool was running down his chin, Sango could only imagine what he was thinking. (Let's find out what they were thinking, shall we?)

Miroku: 'I wonder if Sango would ever wear a short green skirt similiar to Lady Kagome's? Hmmm. That would be nice.'

Shippo: 'If Koga marries my okaa-san then that means I'll finally have a father. This is good, I was praying to the high heavens that Inuyasha wouldn't become my father. I'd get hit everyday, but seeing as Koga's not as mean I guess this will be okay.'

Sango: 'Kagome, what will happen after the jewel is completed? Will you stay with Koga and leave us, or will you return home? What are you going to do?'

Kilala: 'I wish I could talk.'

(Everyone has stopped thinking now)

Kagome watched as her three friends stare at her while they were spacing out in their own little worlds. She decided to break the silence by clearing her throat rather loudly.

"Ahem."

The trio snapped out of their thoughts and looked at the raven haired girl. Sango was the first to speak up after Kagome had brought them out of their dazes.

"Um, Kagome, what will you do when the Shikon no Tama is completed?" she asked nervously.

"Well, I havent' really decided yet. I guess...I really don't know. We'll just have to see when it comes to that."

Koga flinched at her unsure words. 'I thought for sure she would tell them she was staying with me.' Koga's head drooped a little and Miroku saw this.

"Koga, do you feel ill?" asked the oblivious monk.

"No I'm just fine." Koga was starting to get frustrated with his thoughts. 'What if Kagome doesn't go home but returns to that stupid pup? Or what if she does go back home and never comes back?' Koga started to shuffle his feet uncomfortably as his fists clenched by his side.

"Kagome."

"Yes Koga?"

"I thought you said after the jewel was completed you would be staying with me." he fibbed.

"Did I? I can't seem to remember."

"W-well you did. Yeah, you said that you would love to stay with me and be my...mate."

At those words the whole gang looked at Kagome who was as surprised as they were. Kagome looked at Koga and saw his blue orbs facing the grass. 'Did I really say that?' She shut her eyes to think. 'I know when we were swimming I felt something, but could that actually be love? Actually, even though Inuyasha is gone I don't miss him as much as I would have.' Kagome walked over to Koga with her hands politley held behind her back and brought his eyes from the grass to look at her.

"Give me some time okay?"

A/N: Gawd don't hate me! I know nothing special happened in this chapter, I just have some writers block, so give me some ideas if you want and I'll see what I can do.

Warning continued: I may still be late on my updating.
